This blog is not only about Finnish puukko knives... but yes, I'm hooked on them! Scandinavian knives are one of the oldest and most traditional of knives still being used today. They are practical, razor sharp, have long edge retention, and are easy to sharpen... What else could you ask for a good tool?!

What I like the best of these knives is that these feel great in your hand! The handles fit perfectly in your hand and have smooth feeling without being slippery. You can truly feel the high quality Scandinavian craftsmanship in these knives!

Sweden has long traditions of knife making and still respects and holds large amount of custom knife makers. Some make knives just for collectors, but most still make knives for people to use... and it's not a bad thing if they are nice to look at the same time!

Karesuando Knives is located in Arctic taiga in Karesuando, Sweden. The products have their origins in the extreme Arctic climate. All material comes from the surrounding area. Curly-grained birch and leather, antler and bone from the reindeer are the most-used components. These are knives made by folks who use knives! The shapes and sizes are ideal for all-around utility use. No matter if you are a hunter or a fisherman or just need a good utility tool - these are your knives!

Kuksa - Lifelong camping companion!

The kuksa is a hand carved drinking cup made from birch burl. The Kuksa is made from renewable materials and so it is a true nature product. The leather straps on these Kuksas are reindeer leather. Always make sure your kuksa is traditionally made and not a cheap fake one!
